Technical Sector Timing for Crude Oil and Natural Gas

The broad market including commodities is under some serious selling pressure
as traders and investors panic to exit positions. Today small caps stocks and
commodities took the majority of the beating. Although the market looks bearish
at this point, I do think there is a very good chance of a bounce Thursday
and Friday, but I figure we will see selling into the close on Friday as traders
stay in cash over the weekend.

This week's price action for all our funds provides us with new technical
analysis on the charts. Support levels were broken and we are now in free fall
mode for these four commodities. I do like the way the charts are setting up.
The bigger and quicker the drop in price the better the odds that the next
setup will follow through for a profitable trade.

Oil Sector Timing - USO ETF Fund

Because of crude oil's extreme popularity of speculate traders, the price
has dropped like a rock. The price broke down from is head & shoulders
pattern last week and everyone saw this which triggered another wave of selling.
Oil is currently at support and we could see a bounce or sideways action here.

Natural Gas Sector Timing - UNG ETF Fund

Natural gas managed to hold its ground today. Many traders were spooked with
UNG halted Wednesday because they are trying to add more shares to the fund.
UNG applied for 1 billion more shares to the SEC. They may or may not get them
and if UNG cannot increase the amount of shares then this fund will start to
trade like a closed end fund. This means shares will trade at a large premium
or discount from the actual price of gas simply because of supply and demand
from investors wanting to own shares. If this happens we will simply move on
to a different gas fund to trade.

UNG broke down this week and now trading at support. Overall price action
is still very bearish so let's wait and see what happens over the next few
days.

Technical Sector Timing of Commodities

So far this week the market has caused some serious damage to the technical's.
Overall the market looks over sold and I am expecting a positive day tomorrow.
The price action today looked very much like panic selling and that is generally
when we see stocks and commodities rebound for a couple days.

The S&P500 penetrated a critical support level intraday but closed higher.
One more down day in the market and we will most likely see program selling
step in which will force stocks lower for another couple days triggering even
more panic selling.

We continue to let the market unfold analyzing the technical's on a daily
basis. Waiting for a low risk trade can be a slow process but this down time
allows us to learn and fine tune our technical analysis skills even more.
